A short article from Master Weaver on making a first sampler in net weaving, a technique that uses a special comb to open net sheds and a rigid weft inserted among tabby ground picks. It covers warp choice (cotton 10/2 at 24 ends per inch), suitable threadings, and materials for the rigid weft: wood strips, bamboo and bulrushes. It then gives instructions for six samples that vary the spacing of tabby picks, the number of strips, and the comb position. It ends with ideas for further experiments and for advanced work with doup leno and double weaves.
